backside." Review by Air Hendrix with scores and screen shots.

"Just as the movies take liberty with the novels, the game takes liberties with the movies.
Some of the battle scenes are drastically changed in order to provide more time for gameplay."

"With graphics prettier than Arwen and gameplay shorter than Bilbo Baggins, The Lord of the

"Only its short length (a meager 7-8 hours) and lack of multiplayer support keeps The Two
Towers from overtaking Koei's Dynasty Warriors 3 as the system�s best mindless hack-and-slash
action/adventure." Review by J.M. Vargas with overall score [7] and screen shots.

ever play, but it is the best action game based on The Lord of the Rings." Review by Benjamin

"The violence and the combat are exciting, but what draws people and holds them to the trilogy
is the hope of a small fellowship struggling against overwhelming odds to set the world

"It's different enough from Universal's title, which is an action-adventure title based on
Tolkien's literary works, for gamers to warrant a look at both. But if this game's score indicates
anything to you, you'll know which one to pick." Review by Douglass C. Perry with screen

"However, action gamers or fans of solid gameplay should seriously pick up this game even if
they don’t like fantasy based upon the game mechanics and the technical skill demonstrated by EA in
bringing this masterpiece from the literary page and the big screen over to the small screen."

"It's remarkable how closely these protagonists resemble the actors who play them in the
films. That, and real movie footage from both films is seamlessly interspersed before, during and
after each of the dozen or so levels." Review by Marc Saltzman with screen shots.

"When it comes to the graphical elements, this game is easily head-and-shoulders above others
in the genre. From the spark of a parried attack, to the whirr of a blurred blade slashing through
the air and a kick that knocks opponents back and off-balance so the killing blow can be struck,
this game is a visual delight. The sound elements only add to the overall effect, and make The Two
Towers a fantastic outing." Review by Michael Lafferty with overall score [9.8] and screen
shots.

"Due to the high level of collaboration between Stormfront, EA, and New Line Cinema, this
title is an incredibly slick and well-rounded package. However, even without the extras, the game
is simply so much fun to play that it's a title players are likely to come back to again and again
just for a quick orc-hacking fix." Review by Matt Keil with score [5/5].
